Translation: "I'm tired of throwing whiny, pessimistic sh*t out there about literally everything the last three weeks and being nothing but critical, and then *gasp* subsequently being held responsible by everyone here for actually defending my position with facts (which I can't do)...so now I'm just gonna be petulant". Lmao.
Anyway...as others have mentioned, it's difficult to argue with the promotion from an actual production standpoint, as well as his experience in our system, sticking to similar schemes, and the recruiting continuity.
It's a bit of a risk, sure....but it's equally (if not moreso) risky hiring someone completely new and everything that comes with that.
Our defense isn't broken....why try to fix it?
I get not jumping up and down over it as if we just hired Rocky Long, but I honestly don't see how we can be mad/disappointed over it. I'm quite intrigued, tbh.
This is what I predicted caused Bohl’s early retirement. The opportunity for his son to advance at Wyoming or otherwise Aaron Bohl might leave.WYO1016 said:DamThatRiver22 said:Translation: "I'm tired of throwing whiny, pessimistic sh*t out there about literally everything the last three weeks and being nothing but critical, and then *gasp* subsequently being held responsible by everyone here for actually defending my position with facts (which I can't do)...so now I'm just gonna be petulant".

Intrigued is definitely the best word. As I've said before, he's been a damn good linebacker coach. If he can translate those skills well he's got the chance to be a solid DC.
I think he's earned this promotion. I think that he would have been offered a DC position at another school eventually (possibly this year) if we didn't offer it to him. I'm curious and excited to see how this works out.

You have to wonder if Aaron was not promoted if he was on his way to NDSU as well.OrediggerPoke said:This is what I predicted caused Bohl’s early retirement.

Bookmarked. Will be interesting next fall.

I think Wyoming (and some fans certainly) need to stop thinking like this. If they (players, coaches, administrators) go, they go. We need to be out of the box thinking enough, and work hard enough, to go after the gold, regardless what is or isn't within our control.
